It was open to everyone. Attendance was all Board members, Ann Davies and Shirley Herman. Topics discussed: Insurance: Discussed what CSCA should be responsible to cover. Jeff Cohen accepted the task to investigate the various costs and alternatives to present insurance. Colorado Open: After discussion, time control was changed to G/90;d/5 for rounds 1 and 2 so round 3 could start at 5:00pm thus finishing earlier in the evening. The logic is that more players will play in round three if the game finishes earlier. Dean made the motion Rounds 1 and 2 will be G/90;d/5. Rounds 3, 4, and 5 will be G/90;+30. Game times will be Saturday 9:00am, 1:30pm and 5:00pm, and Sunday 9:00am and 4:00pm with the Membership meeting to be held Sunday at 2:00pm. Jeff seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 2. Discussed the prospect of inviting Chess.com’s IM Daniel Rensch as our guest of honor. Dean will investigate and report on costs and potential benefits. DGT Boards: Dean proposed investigating purchasing two laptops to make the DGT boards work better. He will investigate and report back. Paul proposed purchasing three additional DGT boards to support streaming games live to gain more exposure for Colorado Chess. Tabled awaiting the results of trying to make the present DGT boards work better. Class Championship: Discussed finances. More details when everything to pulled together. Earle Wilke was the Tournament Director. Dean and Paul was onsite and helped. Rocky Mountain Team Chess Challenge: Because of the inability to get the match scheduled during the summer, the Board decided to cancel the event. Dean made the motion, Paul seconded and the vote was unanimous. Paul will notify New Mexico. Day of Champions: Earle will run the blitz, Dean the other two. Discussed Colorado Open TLA: TLA will be emailed to Board members before being summited to US Chess. Dean agreed to do this. Scholastic Closed: Dean is trying to get a free site in Denver area. Various times and formats discussed. Decision of how and where left to Dean. Stipends for Scholastic players who are invited to represent United States in foreign events was discussed. Board decided to handle every case individually. The final decision of whether to support a specific event and level of support will be determined by the Board. Paul assigned to write the wording and summit to the Board for markup (see below). CSCA Board approved International Stipends After discussion, the CSCA voted to approve stipends on a case by case basis for Scholastic players who are representing both Colorado and United States in invitational events Internationally. The amounts of the stipends depend on many factors. To qualify, scholastic players must apply to the CSCA board explaining the circumstances and the opportunity. Remember the CSCA is a non- profit and your donation to this fund is tax deductible (check with your tax advisor about current laws) and 100% of your donation will go to this project or selected player.

  • Rules of Chess
    Rules of chess From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The rules of chess (also known as the laws of chess) are rules governing the play of the game of chess. While the exact origins of chess are unclear, modern rules first took form during the Middle Ages. The rules continued to be slightly modified until the early 19th century, when they reached essentially their current form. The rules also varied somewhat from place to place. Today Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE), also known as the World Chess Organization, sets the standard rules, with slight modifications made by some national organizations for their own purposes. There are variations of the rules for fast chess, correspondence chess, online chess, and chess variants. Chess is a game played by two people on a chessboard, with 32 pieces (16 for each player) of six types. Each type of piece moves in a distinct way. The goal of the game is to checkmate, i.e. to threaten the opponent's king with inevitable capture. Games do not necessarily end with checkmate – players often resign if they believe they will lose. In addition, there are several ways that a game can end in a draw. Besides the basic movement of the pieces, rules also govern the equipment used, the time control, the conduct and ethics of players, accommodations for handicapped players, the recording of moves using chess notation, as well as procedures for irregularities that occur during a game. Contents 1 Initial setup 1.1 Identifying squares 2 Play of the game 2.1 Movement 2.1.1 Basic moves 2.1.2 Castling 2.1.3 En passant 2.1.4 Pawn promotion Game in a public park in Kiev, using a 2.2 Check chess clock 3 End of the game 3.1 Checkmate 3.2 Resigning 3.3 Draws 3.4 Time control 4 Competition rules 4.1 Act of moving the pieces 4.2 Touch-move rule 4.3 Timing 4.4 Recording moves 4.5 Adjournment 5 Irregularities 5.1 Illegal move 5.2 Illegal position 6 Conduct Staunton style chess pieces.
